1. SAVE America Act (Election Law & Voter ID) Core Argument The SAVE America Act would: Require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote Require photo ID to vote Democrats are portrayed as unanimously opposed, preventing passage due to the Senate’s 60‑vote threshold. Strategic Claim Cruz argues Republicans should: Force a “real” filibuster (continuous floor speeches) Make Democratic opposition politically and physically costly He frames Democratic resistance as intentional rather than procedural. Public Opinion Framing Polling is cited (CNN, Pew) to claim: Broad bipartisan and multiracial support for voter ID Democratic leadership (especially Chuck Schumer) is accused of ignoring their own voters. 2. Voter Fraud & Ballot Harvesting Claims Presented Ballot harvesting is described as: A system that enables fraud, especially among elderly or vulnerable populations Democrats are accused of: Supporting policies that increase fraud opportunities Reversing recommendations from the Carter–Baker Commission There is justification for: Photo ID laws Restrictions on mail-in voting Limits on third-party ballot collection 3. Somali Welfare Fraud in Minnesota Central Allegation Massive welfare fraud in Minnesota tied to programs serving the Somali immigrant community. Figures cited include: Up to half of $18 billion in welfare spending allegedly lost to fraud Disproportionately high welfare participation rates among Somali households Democratic state officials are accused of: Knowing about the fraud Allowing it to continue for political gain Silencing whistleblowers Stolen welfare funds indirectly finance al‑Shabab, a terrorist organization 4. Medical Policy Shift on Gender Surgeries for Minors Key Development The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Medical Association are described as: Reversing prior support for “gender‑affirming surgeries” for minors Now recommending deferral until adulthood Causal Explanation The reversal is attributed to: A high‑profile malpractice lawsuit by a detransitioner Legal and financial risk to medical institution Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

We're just one week into February, and a lot has happened already — from the fallout over the Department of Justice's Epstein file dump, to President Trump's claims the U.S. should "nationalize" elections, to the decision to pull 700 federal immigration agents out of Minnesota on Wednesday. It's been a lot to follow — so we spoke to Tim Miller. He's writer-at-large at The Bulwark and host of The Bulwark Podcast.And in headlines, lawmakers are nowhere near an agreement to fund the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. and Iran are set to hold nuclear talks in Oman, and the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots face off in Super Bowl LX.Show Notes: Check out The Bulwark Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

There is “no coherent principle” to the left's ongoing “utterly hypocritical” “insurrectionary movement” in Minnesota, argues Daily Signal senior contributor Victor Davis Hanson in his first post-surgery video appearance. Nearly five years ago, these same people lambasted Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed 14-year Air Force veteran who was shot and killed by the U.S. Capitol Police on Jan. 6, 2021. The left cheered as hundreds of demonstrators were arrested for allegedly assaulting officers and carrying firearms. Meanwhile, they said it was perfectly OK for somebody like Alex Pretti “to go to a demonstration with a military-grade semiautomatic weapon, with extra clips, and just stick it in his waistband, visible sight of anybody, and then get into a brawl with law enforcement officers,” Hanson continues. “All of our most prominent liberals are saying the state of Minnesota has a right to do what? Occupy federal property? Attack federal officers? Prevent the enforcement of federal law? I thought the left didn't like states' rights. I thought they said that this was ‘insurrectionary.'” 00:00 Introduction and Personal Update 01:32 Health Struggles and Recovery 03:58 Minnesota's Street Insurrection 06:13 Hypocrisy in Law Enforcement 09:37 States' Rights and Federal Law 12:57 Conclusion and Future Discussions
What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
We welcome back family counselor Erin Cox to talk about how we talk about the immigration raids and ICE detentions taking place in the United States, the children who are being detained, and the fear all children are absorbing from the news, social media, and their communities. We discuss what's happening on the ground in places like Minnesota, Texas, and Portland; why it's making so many of us feel frightened and disoriented; and what we can do as parents whose children are directly impacted—and for those kids who are learning about it online. We discuss how children communicate distress through behavior and play and why empathy and emotional vocabulary are essential tools we can teach our children. Erin explains the importance of co-regulation—how children borrow calm from the adults in their lives—and shares ways parents can care for their own nervous systems so they can show up as a steady presence. While fear may be the point of these tactics, connection, community, and resilience are how we can respond.

The ICE surge in Minnesota has meant a huge number of arrests, protests, confrontations, deportations, children and adults sent to detention facilities, and deaths. It's also meant massive anxiety, fear, and trauma around the state. Marcus Schmit of NAMI Minnesota says this is being felt acutely among people already struggling with severe mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and severe anxiety and depression. His organization has received overwhelming demand for help that they are doing their best to meet and trying to help those in need avoid worst case scenarios such as suicide and loss of contact with caregivers. Marcus says it's time for ICE to get out of the state. He and our Minnesota-based host, John Moe, talk about the urgency of the situation, how the community is becoming stronger in response, and how the trauma of what's being done to Minnesota will remain long after the last black SUV drives away.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

The economy is in pretty much the same weird place it's been for the past few months. Hiring is down, the cost of living is up, and no one really knows what's coming next. That uncertainty is partially thanks to AI, which is supposed to change work as we know it. It's making everyone – from stock traders to white-collar workers – very, very nervous. On this episode, we talk to Stacey Vanek Smith. She's a reporter for Bloomberg Businessweek and co-host of the Bloomberg podcast, Everybody's Business.And in headlines, the Supreme Court signs off on California's new congressional map, President Trump's attempted assassin is sentenced to life in prison, and a group of Minnesota teachers and school districts sue to stop immigration enforcement activity on or near public schools.Show Notes: Check out Everybody's Business Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The massive layoffs at Jeff Bezos's Washington Post involve more than just the financial situation at the paper. The Amazon founder's real priority is keeping Donald Trump happy so the money keeps flowing from his lucrative government contracts. And the man worth $260 billion will do what it takes, even if that means hollowing out a great news organization and potentially turning it into a MAGA-friendly outlet. Maybe having the economy so dependent on government contracts—with an erratic, megalomaniac at the top of the food chain—is not such a good idea. The former executive editor at The Post says Bezos should turn the paper into a nonprofit. Plus, the origin story of "Democracy Dies in Darkness," and the profiteering and corruption in the administration is not getting the press attention it deserves.Marty Baron joins Tim Miller.show notes Marty's book, "Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post" Tickets on sale Friday for our live shows in Dallas and Austin in March, and our second Minnesota show is selling out.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down a stunning Democratic upset in a deep-red Texas special election, where labor leader and Air Force veteran Taylor Rehmet crushed a Trump-endorsed Republican by double digits, raising new questions about the political environment heading into the midterms. They analyze what made the race unique, why Hispanic voters proved decisive, Trump's frantic attempts to distance himself from the loss, and what special elections can—and can't—tell us about what's coming next. Kander and Gupta also dive into escalating threats to election integrity, as Fulton County fights the FBI over the seizure of 2020 ballots, Trump openly calls for nationalizing elections, and alarming new reporting surfaces about Tulsi Gabbard, whistleblowers, and federal overreach. Plus, they discuss ICE enforcement chaos in Minnesota, the real economic impact of immigration, and why the rule of law is being stress-tested like never before.

On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with Senator Marsha Blackburn for a wide-ranging discussion on immigration enforcement, public safety, and government accountability. Blackburn highlights the success of federal-local cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Memphis, while sharply criticizing Minnesota for refusing to support ICE operations. The conversation breaks down congressional funding battles surrounding the Department of Homeland Security, the push for body cameras on ICE agents, and the heightened risks agents face when protective masks are removed. Blackburn also introduces her Fraud Accountability Act, aimed at holding fraudsters accountable through deportation or de-naturalization, arguing that law and order must be restored at every level of government. The episode closes with a look at ongoing power outages across Tennessee, which Blackburn links to misguided budget cuts and failed governance—underscoring the real-world consequences of policy decisions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Cuomo reacts to and analyzes the arrest of Don Lemon following a protest inside a Minnesota church, arguing that the case raises far bigger questions than Lemon himself. Cuomo explains why personal feelings about Lemon — his style, his choices, or his politics — are clouding a more serious issue: whether the government should be deciding who counts as a journalist and when reporting becomes a crime. Cuomo walks through what the law actually requires, why the FACE Act is being stretched in a way that should concern journalists and non-journalists alike, and why the arrest of Lemon — and fellow journalist Georgia Fort — represents a dangerous precedent even if you strongly dislike how Lemon operates. He also addresses the tension between free speech and freedom of worship, the difference between bad judgment and criminal conduct, and why this case is not a close call in his view.

On the Mike Force Podcast with Mike Glover, we break down the Minnesota fallout after the federal agent–involved shooting of Alex Pretti and ask if coordinated protest mobilization is the early signal of a civil conflict the U.S. hasn't faced in modern times. I lay out predictions, why California could follow the same playbook, and we hit election volatility and the Epstein files.Carnivault - The best freeze dried meat for prep or dinner.

People around the world have now heard the reporting about five year-old Liam Conejos Ramos. ICE grabbed him up on his way home from preschool, used him as bait to lure his father out of the house, and then jailed them both – put them both in detention - even whisking them away from their home in Minnesota to a detention facility in Texas. This inhumane treatment by the Trump administration prompted an outcry, both nationally and internationally. But it also prompted something more: a short, two-page court order from a federal judge in Texas, that is as unique as it is powerful. That court order may prove to be historic when the age of the Trump-induced darkness comes to an end.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Thursday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan leads with good news as President Trump's Five Bucket Strategy gains momentum, including a major international minerals pact designed to break China's grip on critical resources and early signs of a new rent-to-own housing pathway for young and middle-income Americans. He then explains why the AI Revolution is rattling markets and jobs alike, as new tools automate white-collar work faster than expected, raising hard questions about wages, employment, and who benefits from the coming productivity boom. Back at the border, Bryan details a quieter shift in Minnesota as local law enforcement begins cooperating more closely with ICE, allowing federal agents to pull back from street arrests and reduce risk, even as Democrats and judges escalate rhetoric and legal resistance. The episode pivots global with updates on cartel expansion into illegal vape trafficking in Mexico, a dramatic political turn in Bolivia as Chinese-backed projects are canceled and a former Marxist president vanishes, fresh evidence that China is massively expanding coal power despite climate promises, rising tensions over the Panama Canal, deepening financial strain on Russia as India weighs oil cuts, and renewed maneuvering with Iran that could set the stage for another major U.S. strike.

Today's Headlines: While U.S. officials continue to shrug at the Epstein files, Europe is once again doing the most. Lithuanian prosecutors announced a human trafficking investigation after reviewing information tied to the Epstein documents, citing connections to Lithuanian models and artists and urging potential victims to come forward. Back stateside, DHS said it will pull 700 federal immigration agents out of Minnesota following weeks of aggressive enforcement, though roughly 2,000 agents will remain after about 3,000 arrests during “Operation Metro Surge.” The Supreme Court also issued an emergency ruling allowing California to use its newly redrawn congressional map, after Democrats responded to Trump's push for GOP-led states to aggressively gerrymander ahead of the 2026 midterms. Meanwhile, new reporting revealed that days before Trump's inauguration, his family quietly sold nearly half of their crypto company to an Emirati royal with deep intelligence ties, a deal now under scrutiny by House Democrats over national security concerns tied to advanced U.S. AI chips. Elsewhere, the EEOC announced it is investigating Nike for allegedly discriminating against white employees as part of its DEI programs, marking a first-of-its-kind case. And finally, the Washington Post laid off roughly a third of its staff — gutting entire desks — as Jeff Bezos continues his very normal billionaire media ownership arc.

Donald Trump just claimed in an interview that the events in Minnesota suggest that ICE needs to use a “softer touch.” He also struggled to create the impression that he's been working constructively with local officials there. While all this is just spin, it reveals an awareness that these events have put him in a politically weak position. Indeed, this comes as Trump's plans for vast migrant prison camps are hitting angry opposition in unlikely places: In a deep red, partly rural county in Virginia; among Republican officials in other states; and even in Mississippi, where a GOP Senator has come out against a planned camp there. We talked to Brian Beutler, who's been arguing on his excellent “Off Message” Substack that Dems need to take charge of debates like these. We dig into the surprisingly robust backlash against Trump on immigration, why the prison camps present a big opportunity for Democrats, and why they must abandon the idea that Trump's 2024 win showed a big cultural shift against immigrants.

Prior to last month's killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, many white American citizens felt obligated to use their privilege to actively disrupt unjust ICE activities in their cities. But the stakes just got higher for everyone. In the wake of these tragic deaths, we look at how the MAGA propaganda machine dehumanizes opposition and demands loyalists not trust the evidence of their own eyes and ears. In segment two, Matthew will look into how renegade religious leaders, then in segment three Derek discusses brave community organizers in Portland currently resisting ICE and the authoritarianism it advances.

No Sam today. Dusty shirt is maize; get it before we play MSU again. Things Discussed: Men's & Women's Basketball win at Breslin: 40 basketball wins. Jeremy Fears's instant karma for his dirty play. Impossible not to see all the extra stuff that guy does when you rewatch the games: yankbacks, pulldowns, more trips. Ira counted 80 yards in penalties and a targeting. MSU game: Brilliant defensive first half, all MSU could do consistently was get to the free throw line. Calling out their dirty play goes right to their heart because it's the best thing they can do. Going 2-3 zone out of halftime made good tactical sense but ball betrayed them a bit, good resilience to fight back. More tactics: Michigan was getting it down to Mara but he's not big enough on the block to make that. McKenney love: He's played his way to Michigan's best two—Burnett and Gayle are losing minutes to him. Anticipates screens, is big, and his midrange pullups are a good floor for possessions that help you against an elite defense. Really important for what this team needs to be going forward. Who's M's best draft pick? We'd take Morez. Who's the best five? Depends on opponent and context. Might not play Mara vs a 5-out team, can go three bigs against an MSU-like opponent. Who's the best team in the Big Ten? Illinois. They go to Breslin and host Michigan but the rest of their schedule are the mids Michigan already played, they got the best player in the league from the composite 250s in Wagler—worst scouting miss in history? Hope Underwood calls out MSU's assist lies so Wagler gets his laurels for his real assists. Michigan next year? Might only have to replace Yaxel (McKenney and Cason take Gayle and Burnett minutes), can go to the portal for a difference-maker and run it back. Penn State preview: They have Mingo back but Yuric played out of his mind last time and think he's not coming back from a 103-degree fever on Saturday to play like that again. Have a bunch of questionable guys tonight. Think University Park atmosphere is similar to Saline 7th Grade Middle School game. WEAR PINK (I can't; I don't have any). What's the reverse Dusty May for Izzo? Sing he's a jolly good fellow, or bring out the newspapers. Hockey: MSU series could be for the conference since Wisconsin is wilting and Penn State just lost McKenna to a bar fight. Michigan needs to get more than a split because MSU has Minnesota, Notre Dame, and Ohio State left, and Michigan still has to play the other contenders. Put me down for this: Mick Cronin is going to complain about Michigan buying players when he comes to Ann Arbor. Craig says he'll dog his own players.

As debates over gun rights intensify, recent shootings in Minnesota reveal how quickly constitutional protections can unravel in practice. Cato's Clark Neily and Matthew Cavedon discuss the dangers of treating firearms as intrinsic hazards, the hypocrisy of selective Second Amendment support, and why protecting unpopular speakers and armed protesters is essential to preserving civil liberties for everyone.

President Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan is reporting a sudden surge of "unprecedented cooperation" from local officials in Minnesota, potentially signaling a major shift in the standoff between federal agents and sanctuary jurisdictions. While high-profile clashes and calls for ICE reform from Democratic leaders in Washington continue, federal authorities are moving forward with nationwide bodycam rollouts and targeted mass deportation efforts. Former Acting Homeland Security Secretary, Chad Wolf, joins the Rundown to discuss why this shift in enforcement could become a nationwide model despite opposition from many Democrats. Jury selection continues in a landmark trial taking place in Los Angeles that will examine whether or not social media platforms are to blame for harmful addictions in children, causing suicides, bullying, and depression. Both TikTok and Snapchat were initially involved but have already settled, leaving Google and Meta as sole remaining defendants. FOX News Contributor and Constitutional Law expert, Jonathan Turley, joins us to discuss how difficult it will be to prove these companies are at fault, who's testimony will hold the most weight, and tells us about his news book, "Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution."
